What if an overlooked agricultural byproduct could become a source of higher-value, sustainable materials? Techcouver.com’s latest BC Tech finalist profile spotlights Vancouver-based POINTVALUES Lab Developers Inc, which is developing a process to transform mustard press cake—the solid residue left after oil extraction—into biochar and bio-oil. The potential applications range from carbon sequestration and soil remediation to water treatment, renewable fuels, and chemical feedstocks. With a lab-scale proof of concept completed, POINTVALUES is now using a data-driven research approach to refine its process and identify promising commercial opportunities. Named a finalist for Company of the Year – Startup at the 2026 Technology Impact Awards, the company demonstrates how scientific innovation can support both the circular economy and new revenue streams. #CleanTech #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #BCInnovation #TechnologyImpactAwards https://lnkd.in/g6pEnn3R
